SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Check with your state and local public works  
department for plumbing and sanitation codes.  
You must follow these guidelines as you install the  
Reverse Osmosis system. Using a qualified installer  
is recommended.  
This product reduces fluoride in drinking water.  
Please consult your dentist if you have questions.  
WARNING: Do not use with water that is  
microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality  
without adequate disinfection before or after  
the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction  
may be used on disinfected water that may contain  
filterable cysts. This Reverse Osmosis unit contains  
a replaceable membrane cartridge treatment  
component critical for effective reduction of  
Total Dissolved Solids. The water should be tested  
periodically to verify that the system is performing  
satisfactorily. This system is acceptable for  
treatment of influent concentrations of no more  
than 27 mg/L nitrate and 3 mg/L nitrite in  
combination measured as N and is certified for  
nitrate/nitrite reduction only for water supplies  
with a pressure of 280kPa (40 psig) or greater.  
If house water pressure is over the maximum (125  
pounds per square inch), install a pressure reducing  
valve in the water supply line to the Reverse Osmosis  
system.  
OpeaigInstr  
Be sure the water supply conforms with the  
Specification guidelines. If the water supply conditions  
are unknown, contact your municipal water company  
or your local health department for a list of  
contaminants in your area and a list of laboratories  
certified by your state to analyze drinking water.  
uctions  
WARNING: Before using the Reverse Osmosis  
system for the first time, the system must be purged.  
The Reverse Osmosis cartridge contains a food  
grade preservative that must be purged from the  
system. The preservative will give product water an  
unpleasant taste and odor.

PROPER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE  
ubleshotingT  
This Reverse Osmosis system must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation  
Instructions before it is used. If you did not receive Installation Instructions, you can receive one by  
calling us toll-free at the GE Answer Center®, 800.626.2000.  
Install or store where it will not be exposed to  
WARNING: Discard all unused parts and  
temperatures below freezing or exposed to any  
type of weather. Water freezing in the system will  
break it. Do not attempt to treat water over 100°F.  
packaging material after installation. Small parts  
remaining after the installation could be a choke  
hazard.  
ips  
Do not install on HOT WATER. The temperature  
of the water supply to the Reverse Osmosis system  
must be between the minimum of 40°F. and the  
maximum of 100°F. See the Specification guidelines.  
Sanitize upon installation of the Reverse Osmosis  
system and after servicing inner parts, including  
replacement of prefilter, postfilter and Reverse  
Osmosis cartridge. It is important to have clean  
hands while handling inner parts of the system.  
See the Sanitizing the Reverse Osmosis System section.  
Do Not open the water supply valve until the pipes  
have been flushed.  
Extended non-use of the Reverse Osmosis system  
If the system is not used for one week or more,  
open the RO water faucet, allow the system to  
drain. Close the RO water faucet and allow the  
system to regenerate the water supply.

On average you should expect your Reverse Osmosis system to be able to deliver 12 gallons of product per day, as  
tested by Water Quality Association Standard S-300. Output according to ANSI/NSF Standard 58 is 10 gallons per  
day. Process water used per gallon of water produced is four gallons.

About the reverse osmosis system.  
What the Reverse Osmosis System Does  
Reverse Osmosis removes Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and organic matter from water by diffusing it  
through a special membrane. The membrane separates minerals and impurities from the water and they  
are flushed to the drain. High quality product water goes directly to the drinking water faucet or to the  
storage tank. The system makes a good supply of drinking water each day (see Specification guidelines).  
How much it makes depends on the feed water supply pressure, temperature, and quality.  
vice  
The system includes an electronic faucet assembly with an integrated water testing feature. When water is  
taken from the faucet, a green indicator light means TDS removal is within the specified limits, and that  
water quality is good.  
The prefilter and postfilter are replaceable cartridges. The carbon prefilter removes chlorine while also  
filtering sediments. The postfilter removes any other undesirable tastes and odors before you use the water.

PrefilterWater from the cold supply pipe is directed to the prefilter cartridge, which is inside the sump. The  
prefilter is a replaceable sediment cartridge containing activated carbon. The cartridge removes sand, silt, dirt, other  
sediments and up to 2.0 ppm of chlorine from the feed water. The prefilter reduces chlorine in the feed water because  
CHLORINE DESTROYS THE REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANE. Filtered, clean, chlorine-reduced water flows from the  
prefilter to the Reverse Osmosis cartridge.

Storage Tank—The storage area holds up to 2.1 gallons of product water. A diaphragm inside the tank keeps water

pressurized, when the tank is full, for fast flow to the faucet when drinking water is needed.  
Check Valve—A check valve is built into one end of the Reverse Osmosis housing under the tee fitting. The check  
valve prevents a backward flow of product water from the storage area. A backward flow could cause the Reverse  
Osmosis membrane to rupture.  
Automatic Shutoff Assembly—To conserve water, the drinking water system has an automatic shutoff. When the storage  
tank has filled to capacity and the drinking water faucet is closed, pressure closes the shutoff. Water flow to the Reverse  
Osmosis housing is shut off until drinking water is used again, and pressure drops in the Reverse Osmosis system.

Reverse Osmosis Cartridge—The cartridge, inside the Reverse Osmosis housing, includes a tightly wound, special  
membrane. Water is forced through the cartridge where the membrane removes the dissolved solids and organic  
matter. High quality product water exits the Reverse Osmosis housing and goes to the storage tank. Reject water, with  
the dissolved solids and organic matter, leaves the housing and is discharged to the drain through 1⁄4tubing.  
Postfilter—After leaving the storage area, but before going to the system faucet, product water goes to the postfilter  
which is inside the sump. The postfilter is also a replaceable sediment cartridge that contains activated carbon. Any  
remaining tastes, odors, or sediments are removed from product water by the postfilter. Clean, high quality  
drinking water flows through the tubing and to the system faucet.

Flow Control—The flow control regulates the flow of water through the Reverse Osmosis cartridge at the required  
rate to produce high quality water. The control is located in the elbow fitting at the Reverse Osmosis housing drain  
port. A small, cone-shaped screen fits over the front end of the flow control to prevent clogging due to sediments in  
the drain water.

NOTE: If the Reverse Osmosis system is connected  
to the refrigerator this light will also flash when  
the icemaker or water dispenser is in use.  
The green light may stop flashing when the

and flow from the RO water faucet decreases.  
This is a normal condition.  
SafeyInstr  
To comply with plumbing codes, an air gap is  
built into the faucet drain water connection.  
The electronic faucet provides an integrated  
TDS monitor. As water is taken from  
the faucet, the indicator lights show how  
the Reverse Osmosis system is operating  
to provide high quality drinking water.  
Flashing Amber “FILTER” Light—The prefilter

six months or 900 gallons of product water. See  
the Care and Cleaning section for prefilter and  
postfilter cartridge replacement.  
Flashing Amber “RO” Light—The Reverse Osmosis  
cartridge is no longer removing at least 75%  
of the TDS from the supply water and needs  
replacing. See the Care and Cleaning section  
for Reverse Osmosis cartridge replacement.  
NOTE: Disregard initial or short periods (a few  
seconds) of the flashing “RO” light. Long  
periods of limited or non use can cause the  
TDS levels to temporarily change.
